I will cry a little if Sanji fights this dude tbh. Such a trash character. The gags he is doing in fights though will fit in with the general trend of Sanji fighting the strong, joker type 2nd strongest underlings.
The sword though could just about swing the match up to marimo.
He has such lame powers. Zoro would be dicing the plants like cabbages while Sanji by EoS will practically be a walking paramecia mera mera mi user with flames so hot he hard counters the shitty vines
